Privatizing air traffic control is just Trump's first step. He also wants to sell off our roads, bridges, and other public assets to foreign corporations and his Wall Street billionaire friends -- allowing them to put up new tolls and put our money in their pockets.

But we’re ready for him. We’re fighting back with a progressive plan to create MILLIONS OF JOBS by rebuilding crumbling roads and bridges, schools -- and investing in 21st century jobs like clean energy.

For months, we’ve been a leader within the large coalition of progressive groups and members of Congress that launched the MILLIONS OF JOBS campaign and House resolution just over a week ago. We're already making big news!

We're now over 30 co-sponsors on the House resolution -- up from 5 we started with!

With Trump's announcement imminent, dozens of organizations and unions worked all day Sunday on final preparations to respond in force this week in newspapers, on TV, by email and social media, and by protesting Trump at his own events.

No Democrats should support any so-called plan that's a massive giveaway to Wall Street, foreign corporations, and Trump's cronies.

Our progressive MILLIONS OF JOBS plan, announced just over a week ago will invest in creating millions of new jobs; prioritize public investment over corporate giveaways; prioritize racial and gender equity, environmental justice, and worker protections; invest in 21st century jobs such as expanding solar and wind energy, avoid support for projects that promote fossil fuel use, protect wages, prioritize the needs of urban and rural disadvantaged communities, and ensure the wealthiest Americans and giant corporations pay their fair share.

It will NOT be paid for at the expense of Social Security and other vital programs, and it will NOT weaken or repeal existing rules and laws protecting our environment, worker safety, wages, or equity hiring practices.

We're as proud as we can be to be working on this campaign alongside the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Communications Workers of America, Center for Popular Democracy, ColorOfChange, Working Families Party, MoveOn, NextGen Climate, 350 Action, Roosevelt Institute, Demos Action, Free Press, Democracy for America, Food & Water Watch, PICO, and other organizations and unions that represent millions of Americans.
